RE: RACISM : AN INTRODUCTION - WHAT A STUPID IDEA

in #racism7 years ago (edited)

Hi @papa-pepper.

I agree, but unfortunately like you said most governments is keeping race issues in the media to divide people and to keep people from standing up against them.

I stay in South Africa and our country had a long history of racial issues.

Take apartheid as an example which abolished in the end of the 80's beginning 90's. The whole apartheid system was wrong to begin with and should never have lasted as long as it did.

Something that most people don't even know is that Apartheid as it existed in South Africa is actually a legacy of the British Empire when they tried taking over South Africa. Most of the laws that made apartheid what it was introduced by the British before they left our country.

I am sure if you ask anyone on the streets of South Africa about apartheid they will all tell you they are glad it's gone and wish it never existed in the first place, but unfortunately the previous government had it going for so many years.

Now our current new ANC government is just using the race card and blaming all their own wrong doings on a system that ceased to exist more than 20 years ago.

It makes me sad that people had to fight so hard to end one wrong system, just to be handed into another wrong system.

Great article and video as always.
